Q1179. Is NAATI translation required for Thai ISO and GMP factory certification documents?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

NAATI translation is not automatically required for Thai ISO or GMP factory certificates; the Australian regulator, customer, or assessing body receiving them determines the translation requirements. Check whether an existing bilingual certificate is sufficient before ordering another translation. If translation is needed, provide all pages and schedules showing the certified site, activities, standard or scheme, issuing body, certificate number, and validity dates. Preserve exclusions and scope limitations, which can be more important than the certificate title. A certified translation does not verify accreditation or establish that Thai certification satisfies Australian regulatory requirements. Depending on the product, confirm requirements with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, or the specific Australian recipient.
